Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of calcium is 20 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 8, 2.

Therefore, a calcium atom contains two valence electrons and in order to attain stability it needs to lose two electrons.

Hence, it acquires a charge of +2 as Ca^{2+} by loss of two electrons.

As, according to the octet rule there must be eight electrons in the valence shell.

Thus, we can conclude that calcium obey the octet rule when reacting to form compounds as gives up electrons.

70 bags is the answer.
They add “They put 7 pieces of candy in each bag to throw you off”

Which of the following is equal to 5.3 mm3? 5.3 x 10-6 m3 5.3 x 10-9 m3 5.3 x 10-6 cm3 5.3 x 103 cm3
Shalnov [3]
The answer to this item is determined by using the proper conversion factors and the dimensional analysis. For the given units, meter and centimeters, the conversion from millimeters are as shown below,
 
   1 m = 1000 mm
    1 cm = 10 mm

Conversion of 5.3 mm³ to m³.
 
       = (5.3 mm³)(1 m/1000 mm)³ = 5.3 x 10⁻⁹ m³

Conversion of 5.3 mm³ to cm³.

      = (5.3 mm³)(1 cm/10 mm)³ = 5.3 x 10⁻³ cm³

The answer to this item is therefore letter B. 5.3 x 10⁻⁹ m³.

Why is the boiling point of 2 nitrophenol different from that of 4 nitrophenol
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The nature of hydrogen bonding in 2- nitrophenol and 4- nitrophenol is quite different.

In 2- nitrophenol, there is intramolecular hydrogen bonding.  As a result of this, the compound has a low boiling point.

Then in 4- nitrophenol, there is intermolecular hydrogen bonding. This accounts for molecular association and higher boiling point in 4- nitrophenol.
